emerging trends in rocket reusability and competition in space industry
United Launch Alliance (ULA) is advancing its Vulcan rocket's reusability through the Sensible Modular Autonomous Return Technology (SMART), focusing on recovering the engine section. Meanwhile, European companies like PLD Space are developing reusable launch vehicles, aiming for profitability and sustainability, with Miura 5 set to launch in 2025. The industry is witnessing varied approaches to reusability, with some companies prioritizing it while others remain skeptical about its necessity for survival.
ula prepares for second vulcan centaur launch with increased future activity
United Launch Alliance (ULA) is set for the Cert-2 launch of its Vulcan Centaur rocket on October 4, following a successful wet dress rehearsal. This mission aims to gather data for certification by the U.S. Space Force, paving the way for increased launch activity in 2025, including missions for Amazon's Project Kuiper. ULA has invested over $1 billion in infrastructure for Vulcan, with plans for future enhancements to the Centaur upper stage to extend its operational capabilities in space.
